I also cringe whenever someone uses the phrase "just a theory." In scientific terms, a theory is something that is pretty solid. When most people use the word theory, they equate it to an educated guess, but that's incorrect. The word they're looking for is "hypothesis."

I think you mean "postulate".

Evolution is far from proven in that regard. There is zero evidence that humans came from monkeys.

Bashing on faith doesn't help your case. You're small and completely insignficant in this universe, which makes your position on the beginning of life completely irrelevent in the grand scheme, as does mine.

Fortunately, I don't have to care what you think, nor do you me.

Creationism is a human invention, if you want to believe it, that is your right...

The bible was written by humans... god was invented by humans to explain the unexplainable, now I don't want to get into a debate of whether god exists or not... but there's a lot more evidence to suggest that Evolution is the answer, then that god exists, of which there is virtually 0 evidence... so by extension the theory of creationism doesn't make sense either.

Oh and one more thing, the video is what they call "Satire" Get a sense of humor rocky Dennis...

And much of the reason you've arrived at that conclusion is because you WANTED to arrive at that conclusion. Tell me where the first spec of matter and/or energy came from, and how evolution could have allowed it to be in the first place if their wasn't a greater hand involved.

There is far more sensibility in the existence of God than there is that all this just got here for no apparent reason and with no particular design in place.

The way I see your argument is this:

The universe and all it's life forms are much too complex to have existed on their own or to have always existed.

Therefor, I will stipulate an even more complex entity that existed on it's own or has always existed.

I guess my argument is that if you think that the universe is too complex to have just always existed or to have been created through natural phenomenon that we just don't understand, then you must make the same argument about any proposed God, since a creator would by definition have to be more complex than it's creation.

Using Ockams razer, we simply reduce "The universe was created by God, who has always existed" down to "The universe has always existed."
